Atencion primaria

We have evaluated the structure and demand of care in a Social Security center for the attention to patients out of their dwelling place during de months of July and August, 1987. We had a single office, with two doctors and one nurse and no auxiliary staff. Data were recovered from the daily morbidity sheet. ⋯ The most common type of interconsultation was the referral to the emergency room of the reference hospital. We have compared these data with other morbidity studies, and we conclude that a better attention of the administration to the clinics for patients out of their dwelling place is required. Another urgent need is the implementation of the prolonged therapy card.
